    Description

    Hi! We are a group of friends who live and work together. We organize agriculture courses and take care of our seedbed and our vegetable garden which is always expanding.
    Our goal is to achieve agro-food, energy and material self-sufficiency and create an ecovillage where a group of people collaborate each other to achieve a sustainable and natural life.
    We can accommodate you in our farmhouse or give you space for the caravan or tent. In exchange for your help we also offer meals.
    You will be able to learn innovative cultivation techniques of plants and fungus, learn Italian by living with us and learn how to create a business project to financiate the construction of a paradise.
    We are looking for willing and respectful people like us that want to contribute to out vibrant community!
    In a farmhouse there are many little things to do. If you want to spend a few days surrounded by nature, contact us!
